Review: Fractured Light

One word, Awesome! I had the privilege of reading this through netgalley and I loved it.

This
story is about a girl, Llona, who has lost both of her parents and is
living with her young uncle. She is an Aura, which means she has light
within her that she can manipulate. She is constantly moving around to
keep the Vykens, vampire-like creatures, from discovering and killing
her. She meets a lot of new students at her school and is smitten with
an athlete named Christian. Their relationship is very complicated and
he is constantly trying to save her. Lots of signs point to the fact
that someone is tracking Llona and is trying to kill her. Llona
discovers how to use her light as a weapon in order to save herself from
harm.

This book constantly kept me guessing at who the "good guy"
was and who the "bad guy" was. It was refreshing to not be able to guess
the entire plot of the book in the first 3 chapters. You felt like you
almost had it figured out and then, "BAM", something would happen and
you completely changed your mind. The plot was great and the characters
were well developed. I highly recommend this book and I can not wait for
it to come out so that I can add it to my book collection.

This looks like one that I would really enjoy. I really like the superhero kind of books or just SYFY in general. Although it does make me think of a younger generation. Kind of like Twilight, so I am not sure what to think about it. It sounds like one that I should give a chance though.
